Our Story
The founder of RBIH Rehab celebrated his tenth year of sobriety in 2015 - the same year he began the eighteen-month process of building the program he had spent the previous decade looking for. He had walked into detox at thirty-one, after a divorce, a job loss, and a phone call from his mother that finally landed differently than the dozen before it. The treatment that worked for him was hard to access, hard to afford, and entirely separated from his family - who had been carrying the weight of his using for years and were given almost no role in his recovery.
RBIH opened in March 2016 on Las Tunas Drive in Temple City. Ten years and 4,800 patients later, the founding orientation has not changed: treat the patient as the adult they are about to become, treat the family as part of the clinical work, and refuse to make recovery harder to access than the substance use was.
RBIH stands for "Recovery, Belonging, Integrity, Healing" - the four words the founder painted on the wall of the original intake room and has not let anyone repaint over.
